We have tried this and failed. The problem is: a fully functional GHDL
distribution is not free software according to Debian guidelines due to use of
IEEE library code. Packaging GHDL without IEEE libraries is possible in
principle, but it would not be useful for most VHDL programmers.
Note that latest version of GHDL contains a free version of
ieee.std_logic_1164 (rewritten from scratch).
Not highly useful without ieee.numeric_bit or numeric_std,
but that's a first step.
